Having issues with bubbles in my epoxy. I built my bar top from oak, and assumed that 2 coats of polyurethane would sufficient to seal the pores in the wood before applying the epoxy. I was wrong and the wood is releasing a lot of bubbles from the grain. I have been trying to stay on top of them with a heat gun, but it seems that every time I heat it, twice the number of bubbles replace the ones I just popped.
I am thinking I can save it by continuing to hit them with the heat until the epoxy sets up enough to seal the grain, and then pouring a second coat to fill in the dimples that they leave. Anyone have any other tips or pointers that can help me save my work?
